Wishlist

Dear Margot,
Today was a very happy day. I am absolutely jovial because I was highly commended by Dr Barrett for getting good effort and achievement grades. I am prpud of myself for gettting the commendation. I want to get another 2 next term so Mum will buy me an arowana and a monsterous fish tank so it will have lots of space to swim about. I also had 2 tests back to back and they were ok. I hope I will get a distinction for both of them because I like the subjects very much (physics and economics).

At the moment, the thing that is on the top of my wishlist is good grades as that will elad to a new fish tank and new fish. THe next in line is probably a new casting reel since my calcutta which Kong gave to me in primary 3 is worn out after of catching many fish.

I am looking forward to fishing this saturday. I want to try out my new fly reel and the new leaders I tied the other day. They are something new i thought of which involves braiding 3 strands of the desired tippet strength and tapering it to 2 strands and finally 1 strand. They are supposed to be able to cast better and turn over large flies more efficiently. However, I do not know how true that is.

Since it is late, I shall go to sleep now.Good night.

Yours,
A very happy, excited and sleepy
An Ren
